Hi Sammy15, thanks, great info. Don't forget to vote in the poll.

Looks like a few others may have also commented but not voted.

According to my wife, who started going to the gym again a year ago, it has changed a bit compared to some years ago as there are some more women who grow some pubic hair. At least in the changing rooms in her gym, in a city in The Netherlands.

Still, the majority is shaved or waxed bare, she would say about 70%. She has a full bush, there are few other women around her age with a (trimmed or full) bush, but most women with a bush are 50 or older. Maximum 10% with a bush. The remaining 20% has some pubic hair, like a triangle or landing strip.

If it would be only women below 30, it is still 90% bare, according to my wife. There is only one woman below 30 in her gym which she sees sometimes, and which has a bush. All others are bare, and a few have a tiny landing strip or patch. For women of her age (mid-30s), she isn't the only one with a bush, there are a couple more, and also landing strips seem to be more common for women in their 30s and 40s.

Although she has a bush for the last thirteen years, she recently talked about the idea if she should shave it into a landing strip again, as she likes how it looks on some of the women she knows from the gym. So, maybe it will change.

Sounds good to me, and it can always grow back. Please let us know what she decides and whether you're happy with the change

Depends on my mood / seasons.., usually just trimmed. less hair in summer more in winter..

to 'keep warm'.. lolz

So far, nothing happened and she still has a bush. If anything changes, I'll let it know!

Results Update
 

RESULTS UPDATE: according to the weighted average of OCC voters, 60.8% of women are fully shaved.

That means, if you look at 10 of your coworkers or people on the street, and imagine them naked, 6 of them would be totally smooth.


Some observations:
-There are a wide range of votes, suggesting that either we all see things differently or there are genuine variations based on where the observations have been made, age of women etc.
-The most popular 10% banding is 70-80%, followed by 60-70%.
-Annecdotal comments suggest all locations have a high amount of shaving but younger women and nudist resort visitors do more shaving than those in changing rooms where 50/50 had been reported
-The vote was based on fully shaved and excluded anything else, so when other exposed styles like landing strip, postage stamp etc. are taken into account, % would be even higher
-Several comments suggest seasonal shaving or shaving when pussy will be on show
-The vote was based on observations: it's likely that a significant number of women who haven't been observed don't shave. However the saying 'if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?' may apply

Please keep voting and commenting

Results Update part 2
 

15.5‰ say less that half
25.0% say about half
59.5% day more than half

Results Update part 3
 

And 41% have observed that around 3/4 of women or more are fully shaved.

Ive had a drink, so ignore most of my ramble. Post found from mixed Euro sauna's.

Doing a poll with a 0-10, 11-20 etc or even 0-20, 21-40 etc would have probably yielded a more accurate result. you have 40% of the answer in just one vote, 20% of an answer in another and just 10% in each of the remaining 4 votes.

Just glancing at the 60.8% weighted average may explain your observations.

You have the first 40% ("hairy" - Option 1) having 23 votes, the last 40% ("shaven" - Option 3,4,5 & 6) having 91 votes. You could dismiss option 2 as its exactly equal both ways. Your result should be around 75% are shaven.

Swingers club
 

During our last visit at the swingers club I would say that out of the 50 or so women we saw nude at least 45 were fully shaved or wax and the other 5 had small landing strips or little patch.
